50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Dana Point

“We tried 3 different pizza’s and 2 salads. Food was amazing!! Great location & atmosphere. The only red flag was when one of the wait staff sneezed twice into her hands and never went to wash her hands. We were there for at least another 45 minutes and she never left the area. So, very happy she didn’t touch our food! We definitely would have talked to a manger if she had. They may need to revisit their food handling protocols!“

“This place has a great vibe, wonderful people, awesome customer service and the food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend any of the pizzas and the meatballs! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Met one of the owners today. We have her own to love Flippin when we are craving pizza. Cleaner options, the service is always great. They even offer to let my daughter either make her own pizza or tie garlic knots every time she’s in. True Brooklyn style pizza.“

“Beach harbor Pizza has the most courteous, friendly, and respectable staff. The staff makes the experience great and the pizza makes the experience even better! don't pass this place up it is the best in town and has the best prices! definitely my go to!“

“First time in 20 years, our Chefs Special was missing ingredients!! Still tasted good.“

“Awesome food and great service. You must check it out.“

“Best pizza in San Clemente Dana point capo beach! Good pasta pizza etc!!!“

“I was immensely grateful to step into a stunning restaurant that exuded elegance, with an impeccable standard of service provided by the professional waitstaff. The warm welcome from the owner at Homeslice Dana Point was truly heartwarming, setting the tone for a memorable evening. As I perused the menu, I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the exquisite cuisine. Every bite felt like a culinary journey through Europe, and the ambiance was akin to a cozy evening abroad, with fellow diners basking in the joy of a Saturday night well spent.Thank you .Fahim Fazli“

“The best pizza I have had maybe in my life. Im from Connecticut, so Im spoiled with the famous New Haven pizzerias we have there, but this was just as good if not better. We ordered a prosciutto pizza and two Margherita “pizette” pizzas with sausage and pepperoni. Besides the fact that it was amazing, the crust was the surprise star. Cooked just right, just the right chewy-ness, and the pizza itself wasn’t greasy. When you’re really hungry, and you imagine how amazing a pizza would taste, this ends up tasting better than what you hoped for which is very hard to do. Seriously amazing pizza.

Vegetarian options: Great selection of non-meat pizza options.“

“12/7/22. In town for a seminar and this restaurant was recommended. Excellent pizza and excellent price. I'll return Friday and grab lunch again on my way home to San Diego!“

“My dad told me about this place and I was very confused since it looks like a cake bakery only from the outside, but it has some of the best pizza in the area!!! I'm not sure why they don't highlight or advertise the fact that they are also a pizza shop lol.

I HIGHLY recommend the crispy potato pizza, it will be one of the best pizzas you have in OC. It has been approved by various "pizza snobs" in my family LOL“

“First visit, I give it 5 stars, only because the pepperoni pizza was excellent. Both cup and sliced pepperoni was used. Very thick and bready with a crispy edge. Yum !
A couple of things to note.
Pickup orders are done by text message only.
All pizzas are one size only, mine was $30, 8 slices.
Pickup is at the takeout section of El Maguey restaurant, but the door to the takeout is signed as “Restrooms” ! Confusing !“

“Amazing Detroit Style Pizza. Full bar. Live music weekend nights.“

““I absolutely love this pizza place in San Juan Capistrano! The pizza is incredibly delicious, with a quality that’s truly unmatched. I’m willing to drive about half an hour just to enjoy their pizzas. Honestly, I’ve never had pizza this good anywhere in the world. It’s become a family tradition to gather here and enjoy a meal together. Highly recommend!”“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Amazing venue, Great beers and pizza! A must do if you are in the area!“

“We tried your pizza tonight and we love it!! Three different pizzas and they were all perfect. We will definitely be ordering from here again ❤️“

“Not too bad here. Food is decent. Cashiers are not great, but it is pretty quick to grab quite a few different options of pizza they heat up real quick for you if you just want to get a few various slices.

Vegetarian options: I mean, if you want vegetable pizza go for it.

Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate Some.
Probably gluten-free.
Just tell them you would like a sad pizza …

Parking: I have a massive parking lot that is free. Typically I’ve never had an issue. If you want to park in the street you can, but it is illegal so you will get a ticket.

Kid-friendliness: I mean, it’s a pizza place. How do you accommodate kids. That’s one of the four things they eat.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they can get you in the problem.“

“Sal’s is a class A establishment. I messed up my order (grandma pie with breadcrumb and onion + sausage pinwheel and cannoli + black and white cookies) I ordered for pick up when it should have been delivery. The owner delivered the order himself. The grandma pie was on point and the sausage pinwheel was right! Waiting to taste the desert but im sure it will be great. Thank you Sal’s“

“great food!!!! reasonable pricing!!! please experience their food!! nice people fast service!! love this place!!!“

“Great neighborhood pizza place. Great for team or group meetings and meals. Fun for adults and kids together or separately. Great pizza!“

“We love Rubinos. Have been customers for a loooong time. We used to go to a closer one at Margeurite and Portola. But, that location closed. We gladly go a bit further to get take out pizza, pastas, garlic bread and salads from this Rubinos. Great food.“

“Good zaaa! I was hungry and in the neighborhood so I checked it out. Got to know Nicole the manager she was super bomb bomb bomb and told me where to go so I got it. Thanks again Tulik’s Floor Coverings.“

“love their wings and pizza!“

“Excellent service. Great pizza and pasta.“

“Best pizza I’ve had since moving to CA from NY. Amazing food, great atmosphere and impeccable service. My go to place!“

“Just arrived in San Juan Capistrano got off at the Amtrak station and this is the first restaurant I saw decided to try it the food was amazing got the Chicago style pizza it was great the sauce tasted home made and the ingredients were spectacular. When I travel back to the area this is going to be my very first stop,!“

“The breakfast at Z pizza is surprising great. The food is very healthy, presented beautifully. It’s a unique experience. And the coffee is very good“

“Perfect place to bring kids after a game or day in the sun. The pizza is good, they kove the coin-operated arcade games, and the nostalgia of the place is perfect. It always reminds of trips out for pizza with my own parents. We come here at least 2x a month--more often if my kids get to decide. I definitely recommend it.“

“Excellent experience! Excellent food! Excellent service! Fantastic little owner owned/operated Northern Italian cuisine restaurant. We will return!“

“Best pasta place ever! The garlic cheese balls are to die for. Only 3 or 4 tables, but it reminds me of the Italian restaurant s back in the day. With red table cloths and food cooked to order. We ordered our go to Penne Bella Roma with extra sauce, so creamy, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes and chicken. Been going there for years quality unchanged. Wanted the antipasto salad, but weren’t sure if we’d have room. Food was served PDQ with crusty garlic bread and excellent service. Sandwiches and pizza is great too. Recommend this place for lunch or even an early dinner since they are open until 9;30.“

“Haven't tried the sushi place or other establishment, but this place has Tucker Tires and that place does a phenomenal job. I will try the other local restaurants here next time and hope everyone else give this a center a try when you are in the area.“

“First time ordering from Porky's Pizza. And...Wow!! Excellent!! One of the very best pizzas we've had in Orange County since moving from New York! Crust is fabulous and pizza topping outstanding! Will be ordering many more pizzas from Porky's. Would highly recommend.Also, very clean and friendly service. Five-plus stars for sure!!!“

“This is a great place for a couple of quick and delicious cheese pizza slices. They have small “Specials” with two slices and a coke / drink for about ten dollars. You can eat there or take it to go. Typically lots of different toppings to choose from. Small business with friendly staff. Easy to park too. A good find. Enjoy :)“

“I just picked up my curbside groceries. The lettuce and spinach was fresh and beautiful. My peppers, tomatoes etc looked fresher than the market. I bought flour and yeast which is so difficult to find and eggs and milk. I will definitely order again. I would very highly recommend them. Thank you for providing this service!“

“Great food! Great service! Awesome people! Love it!“

“The pizzas are always great. The employees are always friendly. They seemed understaffed. There were only a couple of people ahead of us, but it took a long time for our turn.

They receive a lot of online orders. Only one person was assembling the pizzas. Another was handling the register and preparing the crusts while a 3rd person was cooking the pizzas and boxing them.

All the while, a noticeably older person was off to the side doing other tasks.“

“New Yorkers here...

Best Meatballs (by far)
Best Lasagna (by far)
Best Pinwheels
Best Mozzarella and Ricotta
Pretty good overall on pasta dishes we've tried
Best calzones (though expensive and recently under-filled)

Nice they have pizza by the slice, overall very good NY style pizza. The crust is very decent, but not the best available in the area (again, for NY style). Pretty sure they still use Polly-O Ricotta and import their mozzarella, which makes a big difference.

Highly recommend along specifics above!“

“Clean and fast with plenty of out door seating. By from some of the best pizza I’ve had. If we’re ever in Laguna again I’ll be sure to stop!“

“Delicious Chicago style and thin crust pizza. Their chicken wings were great too! They even had live entertainment outside. I will definitely come back again.“

“When companies operate right it is quickly recognizable. People often only take the time to leave reviews when things go south. I just moved to the area & was looking for our new go to pizza joint... for many reasons we landed on TJ's. It was (& this doesn't occur frequently & I hate admitting) completely my fault that I messed up the delivery vs take out option. I called and their response was, in a friendly manner, let's see what we can do. They took care of it all, to spare you the details, and the pizza was amazing! Thank you to who was on the other end of the line & you have a new loyal customer.“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“This is a grab & go place. This is a place to take a team after a game. This is a place for a kid's party. This is a great place to grab lunch.

The pizza is GREAT. The ceasar salad not so much.

Recommend“

“We recently started using Antonucci's for a professional weekly meeting. They've been excellent about preparing the space, anticipating our needs, and serving breakfast for us. I actually believe that attendance at our meetings has increased solely due to the fact that people enjoy the food here more than they did at our previous meeting place. I know I definitely putting on some pounds.“

“My family and I have been going to World Class Pizza for a little over 8 years now. It is easily one of the best (if not THE best) pizza places in town. The pies have a delicious, fluffy crust of medium thickness, the sauce is absolutely delicious and tastes as if it’s from a cherished, old world recipe, and the mozzarella cheese is of high quality as is evidenced by it’s rich, buttery flavor. Best of all, the owner is a super nice guy. Please note that World Class Pizza is a place where you place your order and pick up your food for take out. There is no seating to speak of. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend World Class Pizza.“

“Great Pizza and Beer and the ladies were great. We are here from Australia and just dropped in while visiting Laguna Beach for lunch.“

“I'm not someone who's easily impressed, but this place really does have some amazing Italian food. I had The C pizza and got to taste the alfredo pappardelle, pappardelle bolognese, and the margherita pizza since I came with family and friends. The pizzas and pastas here are a 10/10 for sure! Very delicious, fresh, and homemade (you can taste it)!

The live music added a fun vibe to the night, though it was a touch too loud at times. We started off with the fried mozzarella and calamari for appetizers—not bad, but the entrees were definitely the main event.

What really stood out was the service. You can tell it’s a family-owned place because the servers were super friendly and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. Just great, warm energy all around.

All in all, if you’re in the mood for some killer Italian food and a welcoming atmosphere, this spot is worth checking out.“

“Very impressed with our first order from San Clemente Pizza! We built our own Hawaiian pizza and it was delicious. Someone else’s review put it perfectly - not too greasy and you don’t feel gross after eating it. We ordered through DoorDash and were impressed with how hot it was!“

“Great food, always our favorite restaurant go to when we are in the area!“

“Love their lunch special (personal 1 topping pizza, salad and drink). Not only was it delicious, but the service was excellent. Great food & price. Shout out to Cody who was very friendly and attentive to our needs. I will definitely be back!“
